My doctor just prescribed the Advair Discus along with generic Allegra. Both have the infrequent side effect of causing insomnia, but I'm sleeping MORE. The past two nights I've come home from work around 6 and slept until 9 or 10, then gone back for a full night's sleep around 12. I caught a bad cold on a plane a couple of weeks ago, but it seems to be gone and the oversleeping issue has been getting worse, not better. I'm completely freaking out because what was very mild asthma is turning into a chronic cough, phlegm, and permanent exhaustion.
Anyone else had similar issues?
Anyone else think there's a reason they call what doctors do "practice"?!

Well you have to bear in mind that diagnosing someone's issue is still more an art than a science so yes they have to practice it. I know that you're probably frustrated but let me tell you--medicines affect everyone differently. One of those pills is causing you to sleep heavily. I think it's up to you and your doctor to figure out which. What do you think?
